Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 187

Isaac had been released from prison a few days ago, and now, as he stared at Sophie, he attempted to hide the resentment in his eyes. Unfortunately, his acting skills were subpar, making it easy to see right through him.

"Come in. Jessica has missed you! She's prepared a feast today. Come on!" Perry ushered Sophie toward the dining table in the living room.

Sophie glanced around the empty living room and asked, "Where is everyone else? Didn't they come?"

"They'll be here soon! Sophie, you've been managing Russell Entertainment splendidly. Where did you find Reece? He's brought a lot of benefits to the company, and thanks to him, our other projects have profited immensely!"

Perry couldn't stop smiling, but Isaac just scoffed, "It's just luck. All the credit goes to Reece. What does it have to do with her?"

"You little brat, shut your mouth!" Perry glared fiercely at Isaac.

Isaac immediately fell silent.

Sophie had thought that Isaac might have changed after his time in prison, but he seemed just as he had always been.

"Sophie, I've decided to hand over several of our other companies to you as well. It'll be good practice for you."

Jessica, who had returned from the kitchen with dishes, overheard Perry’s words.

Jessica's face changed slightly. "Honey, what are you talking about? How can we hand over the family business to an outsider..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she realized her mistake. Compared to Sophie, they were the outsiders!

After all, it was Sophie's father who had expanded those businesses.

Sophie raised an eyebrow and remarked, "Jessica, it's been a while, but you seem just the same as ever."

"I..." Knowing she was in the wrong, Jessica placed the dishes on the table without another word.

Sophie merely glanced at his outstretched hand and did not shake it. Her response was cold. "Jessica, what is this about? Today is a Russell family gathering, and you've brought members of the Fisher family here."

Sophie did not mince words, making Jessica's face fall.

Sam interjected, "My sister married into your family, so naturally, the Fisher and Russell families are connected. Miss, you needn't treat me as an outsider. After all, sooner or later..."

Before he could finish, Jessica quickly interjected, "Oh, it's my fault. Sam wanted to come and see everyone today, and I thought, being family, it would be fine to bring him. Let's go have dinner."

While speaking, Jessica pulled on Sophie's arm.

Sophie's instincts told her something was amiss.

At that moment, a maid carrying red wine collided with Sophie. She tried to dodge, but Jessica was pulling on her arm, causing the red wine to spill all over her outfit.
